LITERATURR. WILLIAM. DOWILAS ; or, the Scorn - ex Emirs; a Historical Nova : ' 3 VW. 12mo. London and Edinburgh, 1826. TJae Listorierd novel is a species .of composition, we iniiit alincistss.y, invented in the present age ; at all events raised to at unprecedented rank in the scale'of literature. And whew we look at thnnxtraordinary eminence of one,greater writer in thii'department, it is not surprising that many others, should appear to occupy but inferior statioas,. who under any ordinary circumstances would be regarded as having carried this species of writing ter!„ very high perfection. Scottish history has been singularly fertile in events of romantic character, alfordiug the finest possible s . ubjectst for the pen of the novelist ; and one period especially has produced an abundant supply of mate rials to several successive writers—the times of the Co venanters under Charles 11. and his brother. And when we should have imagined every topic exhausted, and the character of the opposing parties put in every possible/ light by the'narratives of Old Mortality and flingan Gitliaize, we now find -a third writer rise up, with new variations upon the same portion of history, in the work before 'us; and . in being thus irresistibly led to view this tale in juxta-position with the two for mer, we cannot but confess that its merits are in a.great degree eclipsed. The author,. or rather authoress (for we conceive it bears strong' internal evidence of proceeding from a fem a l e pen), w ill, w e t rus t, no t feel any degradation in being ranked as inferior to the author of the tales just named ; but it is an inferiority only in a single degree —we, even somewhat hesitate as to the preference of Riagan Galhaize. We dislike the last named work, from its excessive leaning to one side ,of the queStion. The charm of the Waverley school is, to us, its impartial and unsparing representation of, both parties. The tale befere us exhibits a strong partiality for the oppressed Covenanters, whilst it allovs no redeeming virtues to . the prel a ti ca l p arty . This so rt of partiality some readers may, however, not think a fault, and we mere ly state our critical opinion, without expecting any ' thin like general assen t, w h en we ma i n tain, th a t a good novelist, like a good historian s ought to be of no country, of no party, and of no particular sect of religion. This last topic is, much introduced in the - volumes before us—so much so, ,that it might almost come under the designation of what is termed a re ligious novel : perhaps this will be td many readers a recommendation. As to the story, we uhalrriot deal so unfairly, either with the writer or the readers, so as to let the latter too much into it. It may suttee them to knew, that the narrative, in the first instance, depicts, with much force, the situation of the persZeihed. COvenanters, and she oppressions to which they Were subjected by the mi litary. A rising of the party,,with all its incidental oc currences, is described with great spirit, and the long series of misfortunes to which a 'prescribed family are subjected, is worked up With. much pathos and effect. Their religious constancy in suffering and banishment supports them under every trial, whilst -the oppressors are painted in the Most odious colours.- The conclusion is of course brought about 'by their restoration ; the resuscitation of. those supposed to have been dead : and the revival of old acquaintances under new names, with a proper share of marriages, cleuring up of family mysteries,' &n.' all being wound up and cemented by the glorionS Itevolutton,, the landing of the Prince of Orange, and the eternal ces, . exaon of all persecution. Upon the whole the story will, we think, be found to possess a considerable'lle-1" fires of _interest.. Perhaps in some ef. its,• dttails complicated, and in sonar of its incidents ivy.; probable ; but the general effeWis certainly that of a iiiternst. As to the delineation ofcliariiiielWe do not think the writer has been particularly siieeniiful;- the general. represent a ti on o f t h e indiviclualls {cert ainly such that' we recognize it thrOughout, but welook i n vain f or -those nicer t ouc h es and shades...'a - discrimination, • iVhich setae perception and 64 4 . 0i'v" . 410 . nof hitman nature supplies. The rominent failing is, th a t some' . of th e c h aracters are f aultless, and era have. virtues. • . In the representation given of tile' sevaral parties, and their principles, something of the_saine defects 1110.1 be traced'; the Covenanters are—clesigned• to be placed in the most favourable, light, and - the writer en deavours to draw a marked distinction - liEtWeen•a, smell party of fanatical zealots, Whir are adinitted to be turbulent and seditious, and whose principles are subversive , of all es t a bli s h e d ... institutiOns, and a 'body' of quiet well•disposed • Presbyterianstoo frequently confounded by . tbelf .. eiietract the ultra-zealots, .but •by no metVEL deserv'ing any of the censure heaped . upon. tbein ~The family of Exiles is represented to be of this . elass:•• Their send •anenta are• exiiihited as a pattern of (;hritian purity, humility, and resignation ; whilst their., c 9 iistan e y an d loyalty are elevated into absolute hilroisto: Chir 9Wil idea of this picture is, t h at i t is one which we fear .the real condition of human nature, and the te3timonof y history, will h ar dl y warrant.

Land of my boyhood !'—The tear of found recollection stole down his cheek, and with a deep sigh he pursued his .jnurney. " When he. recovered front the reverie into which he was thrown by these aseociatione, and turned his attention to the nearer prospect, the long ranges of hills which terminated his view, And the tine waving grounds which intervened, diversified eecasionally, though sparingly, with clumps of trees .and inclo ourl,s, and here and there with a gvntlernln'e seat, conveyed to his Mind an idea of grandeur and beauty, which even his partiality was forced to admit he had seldom seen surpaased in the more or namented landscapes of engl!iti4,--The clear :water of the ,river, glittering iu the morning tin; and the blue smoke just beginning to hang over the town, gave a clearackr - of elegance and of peace fulness to the whole, which striltrugly hartuouized with the feel.; ings of the moment; while a share solemn sentipetit was excited by the venerable ruins of an ancient monastery, which rose on the banks of the strearit,.and et: tried the imagination back to the splendour of popish magnificence, and the pin op Pf popigh proves sious. Ou this very spat, thought he, which. the hand of fana tical.fury has rendered desolate, solemn Choirs were chaunted, aria holy matins sung, and the'earth rejoiced under the taste and skill of pious eedesiaitics. There was surely something sublime and' ennobling ip those ancient institutions, which compensated for many errors and imperfections ; and the more than gothic bar- . barity with which the system was assailed, and crushed, and per. secuted—even to the destruction of the Attest monuments of art —proves the savage and malignant spirit inherent in Presbytery. It is well to wage a war of extermination against a sect which ire such sworn enemies to all that is grand in religion, and elegant in civilized society. • _ _ " Thus reasoned the young Cavalier in the intlignancy of his feelings, unconscious that he wns cherishing the very same illi berality of which he accused the zeal of the early reformere,and that he • was uncharitably transferring to the disciples of the covenant in his own day the deliuqueneiew, if they were: delinquencies, of a past 'generation. ' " The prospect immediately befoee the traveller was more alpine than that which he wee leaving, but scarcely lens interesting. As he passed along, the surface became' more and more unequal. Green hills rose in every quarter, rut-mounted at a little distance by higher and more abrupt eminences, till at last the sight was terminated by lofty mountains, towering to the clouds, brown with heath, and rugged with craggy projections. " A few mike from town he entered a forest, and parsing through a narrow defile, darkened with overhanging wood, found himself all at once in a fine open lawn, surrounded on every side by rising grounds of considerable height, covered with. copse wood, and interspersed with venerable trees of various kinds. Ou one side murmured a brook of transparent water, which issued from a lake of small dimensions, but extraordinary beauty, at the further end of the valley. In a retired nook of this little pare disc, a solitary building was pointed out by his guide, which was still smoking from recent destruction. Tide, the subaltern was informed, was the barn in which the Curate hail lately detected a presbyterian conventicle; and here was an instance of the yen- WANCO which even his own party could extend to the insensibk materials that had given shelter to pious worshippers, whose reli gious forms they condemned. He felt rebuked by this incident for the censure which he had too hastily, or at least too exclusively, cast on the children of the covenant, when he passed the ruined abbey ; anti the flush of shame, for the partiality of his judgment, or rather, perhaps, the glow of generous indignation, at the wan ton oppressions of which his friends were guilty, rose to his (dwelt as hi hastily turned away from the sight. "About half a mile farther on, the smoke, which was seen gracefully curling among the trees, marked the place of his future residence. He was now on the margin of the lake, whieh, spread ing like an inuneuse mirror before him, reflected from its unruffled hollow a softened image of the surrounding scenery. The rich green of the smooth and swelling. ward, and the darker and more vatted shade of the foliage which clothed the woods, were finely contrasted with the clear blue sky, which now smiled in its calm, Dees above his head ; and the varied notes of the little warblers, which tuned their throats on every side, seemed as the voice Of Nature proclaiming a jubilee. " roesbaw was enchanted. This wall just such a scene as he had delighted to indulge his imagination in forming, when, in the twilight of p summer, evening, he used to stretch hipiself at full length below the shade of a large elm on 114 uncles lawn, enjoy ing the luxury of building castles in the air ; but it we a scene which he scarcely expected to see realized, even in England ; and to find it . in' Scotland confounded all his preconceptions—Scot land, that inhospitable land of howling wilderness, HoW unjust have I been to this lovely cottutry,' said he to himself, and per haps also to its inhabitants. May not the natives be as different regin what I have heard them described, as is the land in which - they .dwell? And-if they' have really been belied, then what name Shall give to the proceedings against them ?—atnl what shall I think of the commission on which lam nosy sent? but I will suspend my judgment till I can form an opinion !Or , . • l.,tittp. 0. out the passage is t oo long t o 'be extracted.

ANNIVERSAJty OF THE SONS OF THE CLERGY. Anniversary Festival of this Institu ticn celebrated in St. Paul's Cathedral yesterday morning, By the hoer of ten- the doors were besieged, and a constant addition of numbers took place up to eleven o'clock, at which time the western door was thrown open. The rush was tremendous, and it was only by closing the doors by main force twice,., that anything like, order could be maintained ; by these means the persons in charge of the barriers had an. opportunity of receiving the donations of visitors, and prevent ed that 'rush into the choir which would have been at least incon ven i ent, i f - not indecorous. By half after 6leven the choir was filled almost to suffocation. , Shortly before twelve o'clock the peal of the organ was heard summoning the vocal and instrumental per formers to their stations ; and immediately afterwards th e procession of Bishops entered the choir, headed by their Graces the Archbishops of York and Can terbury, and followed by a distinguished retinue of the 'clergy of this diocese. As soon as their Graces were seated,- the Right Honourable the Lord Mayor, preceded by his Uilicers of State, and followed by the Sheriff's and Aldermen, took their 'seats in the stalls allotted to them. The band then played the over ture to flanders,Oratorio of E;ither with great eirect. The musical performances were supported by a very full orchestra, the organ by Mr. Attwood, and the vocal parts by the gentlemen and ,eboristers of this Cathedral, Westitunster Abbey, an d the Chap e l Royal. The selection of music is the same which has been sanctioned by ancient .custom at this meet ing, and was perfarmed in excellent style. The ser vice was chaunted with much solemnity by the Rev. .C. Packe, one of tits Minor Canons; and the sermon Was preached by the. Rev. Henson, Rector of St. Giles's, from Prov. x„ 3, ti Withhold not good from those to whom Wig due, when it is in the power of thy hand to do it."

There are to be four daya o f take place on the 3d, 4th, sth, and. 6th of Ocsober. miler to th e Y or k festi va l l ast year, to p, appall to those " in th power of whose l'w.nd it. was to do this good." This festival may almost be considered as a com memoration of Handel, as, well as that of the " - Sons of the Clergy," .as it is only upon this oceasion'that the public have an opportunity of hearing some of his most splendid and immortal productions, collectively, in a cathedral. of the - Metropolis. They commenced on this occasion with the Overture to Esther, already no ticed. ,:rhe Psalms, being part of th e 119th, the fre uent breaks gave an opportunity for a repetition of a splendid " Jubilate, the effect of which was most highly wrought. After, the first lesson, the Dettingen Te Donn was given with great effect, and which would have , been heightened by the introduction of female voices ; but that not being allowable on this occasion, the soprano parts were taken by the boys of the different choirs. There was a harsh- Uess in " Cherubim and Seraphim continually do that is not so observable elsewhere. Mr. Phillips sang.. the solo, " Thou art the King of Glory, Christ," with great taste and judgment; and Mr. Harper strumpet accompaniment was beautiful. Mr.. Vaughan gave When thou takeet upon Thee to deliver man " with all that ability which , distinguishes that gentleman's efforts on all occasions.. The chorus ! . " 'When Thou hadst overcome the sharpness of death," 'was very powerfully , executed. The trio for double choir, -" Thou sittest ,at the right hand of God," had great merit; and the trumpet, after " 'We believe that Thou shalt come to be our Judge," was really . what Handel intended it—an awful indication of what has been so powerfully expressed by Dryden : e So when that last and dreadful hour This crumbling pageant shall devour, The trumpet shalt he heard on high, The dead shall lire, the living die, . And muido shall untune the sky." .Mr. Phillips's " Vouchsafe, .0 Lord, to keep us !" was tenderly given .; arra Mr. GOulden is entitled to Much praise, for his able performance of " In Thee have I trusted." The concluding chorus, " Let me never be confounded," gave a spendid termination to this lofty monument of the' genius of. Handel. After the ,fecond lesson, the Jubil a t e an d Halle lujah Chorus Was finely perforthed. The anthem was that of Dr. Boyce, composed by him expressly for this Charity, " Lord, thou hest been Our refuge ;" the solo parts, by Messrs. Vaughan,' Salmon, and Goulden, were finely given, and the children's voices harmonized very beautifully in " Remember, 0 Lord." We think the conclusion as highly wrought as some things of Handel himself. After the serinon, Handel's Coronation Anthem was given with great precision. The effect of the rest between the phrases " God 'save, the King," " Long hive the King," can only have its due weight.in a cathedral. Mr. GreatOrex conducted, with that steadiness for which` he is so much inguished, and the organ was most ably played by Mr. Attwood. Mr. Cotton Reeve led, and was supported 'by a numerous and powerful band. It is impossible to overlook Mr. Harper's merits ; in these perform. ances he had much to do, and was eminently ',success ful. He is himself a host in Handel's music, .where so. much judgment and discrimination are necessary, upon an instrument which Handel has placed so prominently in many of his pieees. What good, reason has England to congratulate herself On. being the country in which Handel produced' ao many of his splendid works, for,how much has he 'added to every thing that is sublime in church music I At the conclusion:; the Bishop of.

Our loss is - said to be I i officers killed, 7 wounded; and between 506 and • 600 men killed . and . wounded. We understand 'that the ratification of the Treaty sof Peace has also been confirmed. • We mentioned yesterday the reports which had reached town, of the termination of the long pending differences _between Russia and Turkey, the authenti city -of w hi c h we were led to doubt, from the impro bability o f soda parts of the accounts. to find, howeyer, that this important news has been con. firmed in the main facts. A messengerarrived yesterday at the Foreign Office, with despatches to Mr. Secretary CANNING, from the Right Honourable STRATiorm CANNING ) His Majesty's Ambassador at. Constan• tinople, stating that the DIVAN had agreed to the propositions contained in the lest Note from St. Petersburgli, and had on the btli inst. addressed .to M. MlNztAcx Y, : 'the Russian Minister, a Note to that effect, at which His Ex•cellency had expressed his entire s a ti s f act i on. In conformity with this arrange ment, it is un d erstoo d t h at or d ers h a d b een i ssued for the t o t a l evacuat i on of Moldav i a and Wallachia, and for th e re l ease o f the Servian Deputies ; and th at Plenipotentiaries had been named by the PonTE, to proceed to the Frontiers to settle all other details. I t is asserted, by private letters from Holland, th at t h e question relative to the Fortresses On the Asiatic Frontier, retained by, Russia,, has been been so fat. given up by the DI VAN, that they will not b e a ll owed to become a subject of dispute, but that it is left optional JEAN PIERRE BOYER; PRESIDENT OF HAYTI. . The motives .which induced this Government to forbid all intercourse. between its vessels and foreign countries being no longer in existence, since, by the acknowledgment of- our independence, .and the esta blishment in Hay-ti of Consuls from several Powers, the Hay tian flag can appear on the high seas with that respectability which the laws of nations guarantee, we declare, that from the I.sth inst. our Proclamation of the 20th of March shall be revived, in order that the citizens of Hayti, in carrying on commerce with foreign countries, may enjoy all the advantages which they. have a right to expect. herefore, our vessels may navigate the high seas,' and trade with the countries that are on terms of fkiendship with the Republic, taking care strictly to observe the laws of nations. Nevertheless, our determination to avoid most scru pulously every occasion of umbrage to other Govern ments, in relation to the internal police'of their colo nies, requires that we should renew once niore, by these presents, our express prohibition to Haytitai vessels to go to the islands and colonies belonging to those Governments, as well as to North and South Carolina, in the United States of America. Nevertheless, in conformity with the wish formeily expressed by the Governments of. St. Thomas and Curagoa, that our commercial relations should Con tinue on their ancient footing, and now that we can reply to those friendly advances without endangering the honour of the national flag, we authorizellavtian vessels to trade freely with the said islands of St. Thomas and Curagoa. This Proclamation shall be printed and published wherever it m be, necessary, and inserted for three months in the Ojcial Gazette. The authorities, both civil and military, will conform thereto.

The same letters, state that th sudden compliance of the DIVAN with the condition insisted on, is ascribed -to the complete co-operatioi found to exist on that subject between the Brea European Poliers. All of them supported, througf their Aiubassadors, the peremptory demands of th' English Minister for the fulfilment of the ttexy Bucharest ;. and the Porte having in vain att?eittec to create a counter -interest in any quarter, •had nc alternative left but submission. By Whatever mom this - submission has been produced, we rejoice that erect will be to settle disputes, which have lung threatened to re-light the flame of war on the confines! of Europe. • We have inserted in another column a Proel.nnation which was issued on the Ist ult. by BUYER, President of Hayti ; repealing a prohibitory order before in force, by which all intercourse between Flaytian vessels.and foreign countries was, interdicted,. and sanctioning 3 general trade with all countries in terms of friendship with the Republic : it, however, with the view of avoiding every occasion of umbrage to other Govern ments in relation to the internal policy of their Colo nies, prohibits Haytian vessels from going to the Islands and Colonies of those Governments (With t he exception of St. Thomas and Curacoa) as well as t° North and South Carolina. ------- -As the trade with the interdicted - places, though likely to be productive of immediate advantage , involve the Republic of Hayti with nations who Can not yet overcome the prejudices and j ea lousy again st its origin and present state, we must admire the mode; ration and wisdom which the President has exhibit° in the regulations he has promulgated.
